A mole of potassium.
Sodium weighs 22.990 g/mol while potassium weighs 39.068 g/mol.
When number of sodium-potassium pump decreased, transport of Na takes little more time. Less number of sodium-potassium more time for transport
Case to case basis. In my case diclofenac potassium is more powerful than diclofenac sodium.
Sodium is produced more economically and thus is much lower cost than potassium. Sodium is also slightly easier to handle. Both are used extensively in industry but sodium metal is less reactive than potassium metal.
When sodium is subjected to a flame test, it burns a bright yellow. This yellow flame can be brighter than the lilac flame color of the potassium, which makes it more difficult to distinguish between the sodium and potassium.
Sodium chloride is common table salt and is used in many foods, more often than potassium chloride. Potassium chloride is often used as a substitute as many people consume too much sodium, but it doesn't taste as good.
I would guess that this is so because of potassium's mass, being much more than, sodium's molar mass per ion. So can sodium iodide be used instead of potassium iodide? Perhaps, but maybe not to the same level effectiveness. Potassium molecules have been known to dissolve better than sodium molecules. One example is Potassium Chloride and Sodium Chloride thanks
K; Potassium
Potassium is more reactive than sodium
Sodium has a relative atomic mass of 22,989 769 28(2) g/mole. Fluorine has a relative atomic mass of 18,998 403 2 (2) g/mole. Sodium fluoride (NaF) = 22,989 769 28 + 18,998 403 2 = 41,988 172 48 g/mole. NaF is an ionic compound which exists as crystal lattice therefore the term FORMULA MASS is more accurate as compare to MOLECULAR MASS
One atom of sodium weighs more than one atom of oxygen. Thus, one mole of sodium weighs more than one mole of oxygen.
When number of sodium-potassium pump decreased, transport of Na takes little more time. Less number of sodium-potassium more time for transport
A mole of S (32 g) weighs more than a mole of Sodium Na (23 g)

Na is chemically more like Li than Mg, only physically (measurements, mass) it looks more like Mg
The question isn't very specific (preferred for what?!), but sodium metal is less reactive than potassium. It is also slightly more abundant than potassium on Earth.
